ftrace: Avoid needless updates of the ftrace function call
Song Shuai reported:
The list func (ftrace_ops_list_func) will be patched first
before the transition between old and new calls are set,
which fixed the race described in this commit `59338f75`.
While ftrace_trace_function changes from the list func to a
ftrace_ops func, like unregistering the klp_ops to leave the only
global_ops in ftrace_ops_list, the ftrace_[regs]_call will be
replaced with the list func although it already exists. So there
should be a condition to avoid this.
And suggested using another variable to keep track of what the ftrace
function is set to. But this could be simplified by using a helper
function that does the same with a static variable.
